Eagles; Some of them can be Jerks Too

Much has been made of a remark by Councillor Ceschi-Smith to the effect that the bald eagles are "a nuiscance". Blogger Mary O'Grady is fuming about it as we speak.

Why is it so beyond the pale of respectable conversation to suggest such a thing? I didn't actually hear the heretical comment myself, and I am more inclined to think of the hubris of those self-appointed "protectors" as the real irritant, but it wouldn't hurt to consider that some birds might be jerks too, just like people.
